White bugs on Frogspawn

[Troublekitty]

I recently bought some corals from my LFS and did a coral dip on all three. Everything is eating and open but I noticed my FS tentacles would retract a bit. After close inspection I noticed white spots that crawled around on it so that leads me to believe its bugs. I did some research myself but all I found was conformation of bugs but not a solution. I did a 15min re-dip in the Two Little Fishies Revive. What else can be done. I've read that a fresh water dip helps but also stresses out the coral to sometimes death. Obviously I don't want that.

They're most likely pods, which u want.

That's what I've heard but they seem to aggravatie my FS. They're not red or yellow so that's good. Some say they're bad some say they're bugs.

Look elsewhere in your tank you should notice them everywhere. Rocks, sand, other corals, etc

without a pic, it's hard to say what they actually are.

I've had them as well.... they are not your typical copepod. I used a Bauer dip and it seemed to work.... here's another resource...

Well they're really tiny so I cant get a good pic but this is the closest I could find.

I first notices mine on my hammer and freaked, then I noticed em all over the rocks sand etc etc. If you can try getting a picture, I used my phone and a magnifying glass, and it work okay but not great. Or Google pics of pods and see if they look similar... keep us updated!

Ok this is one of those times when a pic doesn't really help. Sorry.

My best guess would be copopods or amphipods. To my knowledge there aren't to many pests that are white.

They look like really tiny pieces of rice. I just noticed when they are present my FS receeds a bit. Not fully closed but not open either. I googled amphipods but it was only magnified pics so that didn't help. As long as it doesn't kill my coral or infest my tank I'm fine.

Copepods. You should see them on your glass too near the sandbed.

I didn't see anything like what I'm seeing because most shots are magnified but thanks for that link. Ill use it if I need to ID anything else though
